This massive caterpillar tracked tractor has a large plow in front of it. It's such a simple design, yet nothing seems to stop its unstoppable forward movement.
When the Luna-Tesla Corporation robotized the field of construction, it did cause some social unrest when the construction workers were put out of jobs, their machines running without their input. Even so, the public benefited from the advanced construction and demolition speeds and soon building projects erupted the world over. One of these machines was the ever-present bulldozer, a tracor designed for pushing. Given a mechanical mind, the autonomous bulldozer can understand spoken commands (but not reply in anything other than beeps and blasts of its horn), moving massive amounts of material with the roar of an engine. From construction, demotion, trash management, and even rescue, the autonomous backhoes could be found anywhere.
Athanas-1923 Autonomous Bulldozer typically come in warning yellow, and are powerful machines. They would be dangerous if misused. In fact, it turns out the Athanas-1923 autonomous bulldozer is a pretty good tank if equipped with armor, resulting in the Heemeyer-355A Killdozer.
Combat
Autonomous bulldozers do not engage in combat, but if they did they are simple, and effective, brutes. Beyond high strength, they can bury, push, and pin opponents with ease. The killdozer on the other hand is completely designed for combat, and has an actual weapons armament to back up its physical prowess.
Crew (Ex): The autonomous bulldozer and killdozer both have room for a crew of one medium creature, if piloted manually. Starting and running it requires a DC 10 Knowledge Xeno or Pilot check.
Push (Ex): The autonomous bulldozer and killdozer can start a bull rush as a free action as part of an attack. In addition it has two other options it can use.
Bury: If moving at least 10 ft over soil, sand, gravel, or other soft material before making a bull rush (regardless if it is part of an attack), it can choose to bury the creature in the moved material. The creature is entangled, as if hit by a tanglefoot bag. They can make a Reflex save again the tanglefoot effect, DC 23. The save is Strength based.
Pin: If an autonomous bulldozer or killdozer bull rushes a creature into a wall, it can make a grapple attempt as a free action and immediately pin the creature against the wall. However it is unable to prevent speaking. If the autonomous bulldozer or killdozer moves, the creature is automatically freed.
Hardness: The autonomous bulldozer and killdozer are high grade steel, with hardness 10. It takes half damage from physical attacks, electricity, and fire damage, full damage from acid and sonic attacks, and one-quarter damage from cold attacks.
Programming: The autonomous bulldozer possesses the following programs: Calculate, Collect, Identify Object, Job Function (construction), Reposition, Search, Sort.
The killdozer on the other hand possesses the following programs:
Stability (Ex): Autonomous backhoes have stability as a dwarf, but gain a +8 bonus from weight and a wide base instead of a +4 bonus.
Treads (Ex): The autonomous bulldozer's and killdozer's treads allow it to ignore difficult terrain.
